CM tool integration support for Serena Dimensions is being deprecated.

For generic information about the configuration management tool integration, see the topics in the 'Database, model, component and package management (includes access permissions) > Configuration management tool integration' section of the Modeler Help.
Serena Dimension clients must have the optional SCC Integration component installed.
Through Dimensions Administration Console you must set up the Dimensions server to work with Modeler.
Before checking in a Model the first time, you must set up the Dimensions server to work with Modeler, and then create a Dimensions Project, Workspace and Part in which to store the Model.
If the check in or check out commands are not available Modeler, it may be because the lifecycle status of the associated items in Dimensions is preventing them from being checked in or checked out.
